Lexi’s Song

2:16 in the morning

The first time I saw your face

Nine months on Christmas morning

I’ve always loved that day

The things I say and the things I mean

Are mostly all the same

Now breathing has new meaning

Your mother’s eyes and my last name

From a broken heart to your car won’t start

You lost your keys or skinned your knees

From your wedding dress to my last breath

When they tell you that you’re not the best

When whispers get inside your head

I’ll be here to help you through most anything

Two times around this circus

But you’re never second best

Practice made you so perfect

It makes me a perfect mess

The things I’ve heard are the things you’lll learn

If I have my way

Dreaming is life’s real meaning

It’s always been that way

Sometimes you’ll be alone

Just know that I’ll be near

Never hard to find

And when you’d rather be alone

Just know that I’ll be here if you change your mind

When you find love my hope is

You’ll hold on with all your heart

And when love finds you my hope is

It gives you a brand new start

And if that’s not how it happens…

From a broken heart to your car won’t start

You lost your keys or skinned your knees

From your wedding dress to my last breath

When you find out that you’re not the best

When you want to laugh or need to cry 

When the let down makes you want to die

Sticks and stones and broken bones

Late night calls when you’re all alone

From the things you hear to the things you fear

When the whispers make it to your ear

On the day you choose to leave the nest 

If there’s a heartbeat left inside my chest

Any time you call my name

I’ll be here to help you through most anything
